| | SB0057 Enrolled | | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | AN ACT concerning domestic violence.
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 | | Section 5. The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is | 5 | | amended by changing Section 112A-14 as follows:
| 6 | | (725 ILCS 5/112A-14) (from Ch. 38, par. 112A-14)
| 7 | | Sec. 112A-14. Order of protection; remedies.
| 8 | | (a) Issuance of order. If the court finds that petitioner | 9 | | has been
abused by a family or household member, as defined in | 10 | | this Article, an
order of protection prohibiting such abuse | 11 | | shall issue; provided that
petitioner must also satisfy the | 12 | | requirements of one of the following
Sections, as appropriate: | 13 | | Section 112A-17 on emergency orders, Section
112A-18 on interim | 14 | | orders, or Section 112A-19 on
plenary orders.
Petitioner shall | 15 | | not be denied an order of protection because petitioner or
| 16 | | respondent is a minor. The court, when determining whether or | 17 | | not to issue
an order of protection, shall not require physical | 18 | | manifestations of abuse
on the person of the victim. | 19 | | Modification and extension of prior orders of
protection shall | 20 | | be in accordance with this Article.
| 21 | | (b) Remedies and standards. The remedies to be included in | 22 | | an order of
protection shall be determined in accordance with | 23 | | this Section and one of
the following Sections, as appropriate: |
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 2 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | Section 112A-17 on
emergency orders,
Section 112A-18 on interim | 2 | | orders, and Section 112A-19 on
plenary orders.
The remedies | 3 | | listed in this subsection shall be in addition to other civil
| 4 | | or criminal remedies available to petitioner.
| 5 | | (1) Prohibition of abuse. Prohibit respondent's | 6 | | harassment,
interference with personal liberty, | 7 | | intimidation of a dependent, physical
abuse or willful | 8 | | deprivation, as defined in this Article, if such abuse has
| 9 | | occurred or otherwise appears likely to occur if not | 10 | | prohibited.
| 11 | | (2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence. | 12 | | Prohibit respondent
from entering or remaining in any | 13 | | residence, household, or premises of the petitioner,
| 14 | | including one owned or leased by respondent, if petitioner | 15 | | has a right
to occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive | 16 | | possession of the residence, household, or premises
shall | 17 | | not affect title to real property, nor shall the court be | 18 | | limited by
the standard set forth in Section 701 of the | 19 | | Illinois Marriage and
Dissolution of Marriage Act.
| 20 | | (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to | 21 | | occupancy of a
residence or household if it is
solely | 22 | | or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's | 23 | | spouse, a
person with a legal duty to support that | 24 | | party or a minor child in that
party's care, or by any | 25 | | person or entity other than the opposing party that
| 26 | | authorizes that party's occupancy (e.g., a domestic |
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 3 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | violence shelter).
Standards set forth in subparagraph | 2 | | (B) shall not preclude equitable relief.
| 3 | | (B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and | 4 | | respondent
each has the right to occupancy of a | 5 | | residence or household, the court
shall balance (i) the | 6 | | hardships to respondent and any minor child or
| 7 | | dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from | 8 | | entry of this remedy with (ii)
the hardships to | 9 | | petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in
| 10 | | petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to | 11 | | the risk of abuse (should
petitioner remain at the | 12 | | residence or household) or from loss of possession
of | 13 | | the residence or household (should petitioner leave to | 14 | | avoid the risk
of abuse). When determining the balance | 15 | | of hardships, the court shall also
take into account | 16 | | the accessibility of the residence or household.
| 17 | | Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not | 18 | | have a right to occupancy.
| 19 | | The balance of hardships is presumed to favor | 20 | | possession by
petitioner unless the presumption is | 21 | | rebutted by a preponderance of the
evidence, showing | 22 | | that the hardships to respondent substantially | 23 | | outweigh
the hardships to petitioner and any minor | 24 | | child or dependent adult in petitioner's
care. The | 25 | | court, on the request of petitioner or on its own | 26 | | motion,
may order respondent to provide suitable, |
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 4 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | accessible, alternate housing
for petitioner instead | 2 | | of
excluding respondent from a mutual residence or | 3 | | household.
| 4 | | (3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions.
Order | 5 | | respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other person
| 6 | | protected by the order of protection, or prohibit | 7 | | respondent from entering
or remaining present at | 8 | | petitioner's school, place of employment, or other
| 9 | | specified places at times when petitioner is present, or | 10 | | both, if
reasonable, given
the balance of hardships. | 11 | | Hardships need not be balanced for the court
to enter a | 12 | | stay away order or prohibit entry
if respondent has no | 13 | | right to enter the premises.
| 14 | | If an order of protection grants petitioner exclusive | 15 | | possession
of the residence, or prohibits respondent from | 16 | | entering the residence,
or orders respondent to stay away | 17 | | from petitioner or other
protected persons, then the court | 18 | | may allow respondent access to the
residence to remove | 19 | | items of clothing and personal adornment
used exclusively | 20 | | by respondent, medications, and other items as the court | 21 | | directs.
The right to access shall be exercised on only one | 22 | | occasion as the court directs
and in the presence of an | 23 | | agreed-upon adult third party or law enforcement officer.
| 24 | | (4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to | 25 | | undergo
counseling for a specified duration with a social | 26 | | worker, psychologist,
clinical psychologist, psychiatrist, |
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 5 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | family service agency, alcohol or
substance abuse program, | 2 | | mental health center guidance counselor, agency
providing | 3 | | services to elders, program designed for domestic violence
| 4 | | abusers or any other guidance service the court deems | 5 | | appropriate. The court may order the respondent in any | 6 | | intimate partner relationship to report to an Illinois | 7 | | Department of Human Services protocol approved partner | 8 | | abuse intervention program for an assessment and to follow | 9 | | all recommended treatment.
| 10 | | (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child. In | 11 | | order to protect
the minor child from abuse, neglect, or | 12 | | unwarranted separation from the person
who has been the | 13 | | minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect | 14 | | the
well-being of the minor child, the court may do either | 15 | | or both of the following:
(i) grant petitioner physical | 16 | | care or possession of the minor child, or both, or
(ii) | 17 | | order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove | 18 | | a minor child
from, the physical care of a parent or person | 19 | | in loco parentis.
| 20 | | If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has | 21 | | committed abuse
(as defined in Section 112A-3) of a minor | 22 | | child, there shall be a
rebuttable presumption that | 23 | | awarding physical care to respondent would not
be in the | 24 | | minor child's best interest.
| 25 | | (6) Temporary legal custody.
Award temporary legal | 26 | | custody to petitioner in accordance with this Section,
the |
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 6 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | Illinois Marriage
and Dissolution of Marriage Act, the | 2 | | Illinois Parentage Act of 2015,
and this State's Uniform | 3 | | Child-Custody
Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act.
| 4 | | If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent
has | 5 | | committed abuse (as defined in Section 112A-3) of a
minor | 6 | | child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that | 7 | | awarding
temporary legal custody to respondent would not be | 8 | | in the
child's best interest.
| 9 | | (7) Visitation. Determine the
visitation rights, if | 10 | | any, of respondent in any case in which the court
awards | 11 | | physical care or temporary legal custody of a minor child | 12 | | to
petitioner. The court shall restrict or deny | 13 | | respondent's visitation with
a minor child if
the court | 14 | | finds that respondent has done or is likely to do any of | 15 | | the
following: (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during | 16 | | visitation; (ii) use the
visitation as an opportunity to | 17 | | abuse or harass petitioner or
petitioner's family or | 18 | | household members; (iii) improperly conceal or
detain the | 19 | | minor child; or (iv) otherwise act in a manner that is not | 20 | | in
the best interests of the minor child. The court shall | 21 | | not be limited by the
standards set forth in Section 607.1 | 22 | | of the Illinois Marriage and
Dissolution of Marriage Act. | 23 | | If the court grants visitation, the order
shall specify | 24 | | dates and times for the visitation to take place or other
| 25 | | specific parameters or conditions that are appropriate. No | 26 | | order for
visitation shall refer merely to the term |
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 7 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | "reasonable visitation".
| 2 | | Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor | 3 | | child if, when
respondent arrives for visitation, | 4 | | respondent is under the influence of drugs
or alcohol and | 5 | | constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of
| 6 | | petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving in | 7 | | a violent or abusive manner.
| 8 | | If necessary to protect any member of petitioner's | 9 | | family or
household from future abuse, respondent shall be | 10 | | prohibited from coming to
petitioner's residence to meet | 11 | | the minor child for visitation, and the
parties shall | 12 | | submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable
| 13 | | alternative arrangements for visitation. A person may be | 14 | | approved to
supervise visitation only after filing an | 15 | | affidavit accepting
that responsibility and acknowledging | 16 | | accountability to the court.
| 17 | | (8) Removal or concealment of minor child.
Prohibit | 18 | | respondent from
removing a minor child from the State or | 19 | | concealing the child within the
State.
| 20 | | (9) Order to appear. Order the respondent to
appear in | 21 | | court, alone
or with a minor child, to prevent abuse, | 22 | | neglect, removal or concealment of
the child, to return the | 23 | | child to the custody or care of the petitioner or
to permit | 24 | | any court-ordered interview or examination of the child or | 25 | | the
respondent.
| 26 | | (10) Possession of personal property. Grant petitioner |
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 8 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | exclusive
possession of personal property and, if | 2 | | respondent has possession or
control, direct respondent to | 3 | | promptly make it available to petitioner, if:
| 4 | | (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the | 5 | | property; or
| 6 | | (ii) the parties own the property jointly; sharing | 7 | | it would risk
abuse of petitioner by respondent or is | 8 | | impracticable; and the balance of
hardships favors | 9 | | temporary possession by petitioner.
| 10 | | If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the property | 11 | | is that it is
marital property, the court may award | 12 | | petitioner temporary possession
thereof under the | 13 | | standards of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph only if
a | 14 | | proper proceeding has been filed under the Illinois | 15 | | Marriage and
Dissolution of Marriage Act, as now or | 16 | | hereafter amended.
| 17 | | No order under this provision shall affect title to | 18 | | property.
| 19 | | (11) Protection of property. Forbid the respondent | 20 | | from taking,
transferring, encumbering, concealing, | 21 | | damaging or otherwise disposing of
any real or personal | 22 | | property, except as explicitly authorized by the
court, if:
| 23 | | (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the | 24 | | property; or
| 25 | | (ii) the parties own the property jointly,
and the | 26 | | balance of hardships favors granting this remedy.
|
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 9 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the property | 2 | | is that it is
marital property, the court may grant | 3 | | petitioner relief under subparagraph
(ii) of this | 4 | | paragraph only if a proper proceeding has been filed under | 5 | | the
Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as | 6 | | now or hereafter amended.
| 7 | | The court may further prohibit respondent from | 8 | | improperly using the
financial or other resources of an | 9 | | aged member of the family or household
for the profit or | 10 | | advantage of respondent or of any other person.
| 11 | | (11.5) Protection of animals. Grant the petitioner the | 12 | | exclusive care, custody, or control of any animal owned, | 13 | | possessed, leased, kept, or held by either the petitioner | 14 | | or the respondent or a minor child residing in the | 15 | | residence or household of either the petitioner or the | 16 | | respondent and order the respondent to stay away from the | 17 | | animal and forbid the respondent from taking, | 18 | | transferring, encumbering, concealing, harming, or | 19 | | otherwise disposing of the animal.
| 20 | | (12) Order for payment of support. Order
respondent to | 21 | | pay temporary
support for the petitioner or any child in | 22 | | the petitioner's care or
custody, when the respondent has a | 23 | | legal obligation to support that person,
in accordance with | 24 | | the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution
of Marriage Act, | 25 | | which shall govern, among other matters, the amount of
| 26 | | support, payment through the clerk and withholding of |
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 10 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | income to secure
payment. An order for child support may be | 2 | | granted to a petitioner with
lawful physical care or | 3 | | custody of a child, or an order or agreement for
physical | 4 | | care or custody, prior to entry of an order for legal | 5 | | custody.
Such a support order shall expire upon entry of a | 6 | | valid order granting
legal custody to another, unless | 7 | | otherwise provided in the custody order.
| 8 | | (13) Order for payment of losses. Order
respondent to | 9 | | pay petitioner
for losses suffered as a direct result of | 10 | | the abuse. Such losses shall
include, but not be limited | 11 | | to, medical expenses, lost earnings or other
support, | 12 | | repair or replacement of property damaged or taken, | 13 | | reasonable
attorney's fees, court costs and moving or other | 14 | | travel expenses, including
additional reasonable expenses | 15 | | for temporary shelter and restaurant meals.
| 16 | | (i) Losses affecting family needs. If a party is | 17 | | entitled to seek
maintenance, child support or | 18 | | property distribution from the other party
under the | 19 | | Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as | 20 | | now or
hereafter amended, the court may order | 21 | | respondent to reimburse petitioner's
actual losses, to | 22 | | the extent that such reimbursement would be | 23 | | "appropriate
temporary relief", as authorized by | 24 | | subsection (a)(3) of
Section 501 of that Act.
| 25 | | (ii) Recovery of expenses. In the case of an | 26 | | improper concealment
or removal of a minor child, the |
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 11 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | court may order respondent to pay the reasonable
| 2 | | expenses incurred or to be incurred in the search for | 3 | | and recovery of the
minor child, including but not | 4 | | limited to legal fees, court costs, private
| 5 | | investigator fees, and travel costs.
| 6 | | (14) Prohibition of entry. Prohibit the respondent | 7 | | from entering or
remaining in the residence or household | 8 | | while the respondent is under the
influence of alcohol or | 9 | | drugs and constitutes a threat to the safety and
well-being | 10 | | of the petitioner or the petitioner's children.
| 11 | | (14.5) Prohibition of firearm possession. | 12 | | (A) A person who is subject to an existing order of | 13 | | protection, interim order of protection, emergency | 14 | | order of protection, or plenary order of protection, | 15 | | issued under this Code may not lawfully possess weapons | 16 | | under Section 8.2 of the Firearm Owners Identification | 17 | | Card Act. | 18 | | (B) Any firearms in the
possession of the | 19 | | respondent, except as provided in subparagraph (C) of | 20 | | this paragraph (14.5), shall be ordered by the court to | 21 | | be turned
over to a person with a valid Firearm Owner's | 22 | | Identification Card for safekeeping. The court shall | 23 | | issue an order that the respondent's Firearm Owner's | 24 | | Identification Card be turned over to the local law | 25 | | enforcement agency, which in turn shall immediately | 26 | | mail the card to the Department of State Police Firearm |
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 12 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | Owner's Identification Card Office for safekeeping.
| 2 | | The period of safekeeping shall be for the duration of | 3 | | the order of protection. The firearm or firearms and | 4 | | Firearm Owner's Identification Card, if unexpired, | 5 | | shall at the respondent's request be returned to the | 6 | | respondent at expiration of the order of protection.
| 7 | | (C) If the respondent is a peace officer as defined | 8 | | in Section 2-13 of
the
Criminal Code of 2012, the court | 9 | | shall order that any firearms used by the
respondent in | 10 | | the performance of his or her duties as a
peace officer | 11 | | be surrendered to
the chief law enforcement executive | 12 | | of the agency in which the respondent is
employed, who | 13 | | shall retain the firearms for safekeeping for the | 14 | | duration of the order of protection.
| 15 | | (D) Upon expiration of the period of safekeeping, | 16 | | if the firearms or Firearm Owner's Identification Card | 17 | | cannot be returned to respondent because respondent | 18 | | cannot be located, fails to respond to requests to | 19 | | retrieve the firearms, or is not lawfully eligible to | 20 | | possess a firearm, upon petition from the local law | 21 | | enforcement agency, the court may order the local law | 22 | | enforcement agency to destroy the firearms, use the | 23 | | firearms for training purposes, or for any other | 24 | | application as deemed appropriate by the local law | 25 | | enforcement agency; or that the firearms be turned over | 26 | | to a third party who is lawfully eligible to possess |
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 13 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | firearms, and who does not reside with respondent. | 2 | | (15) Prohibition of access to records. If an order of | 3 | | protection
prohibits respondent from having contact with | 4 | | the minor child,
or if petitioner's address is omitted | 5 | | under subsection (b) of
Section 112A-5, or if necessary to | 6 | | prevent abuse or wrongful removal or
concealment of a minor | 7 | | child, the order shall deny respondent access to, and
| 8 | | prohibit respondent from inspecting, obtaining, or | 9 | | attempting to
inspect or obtain, school or any other | 10 | | records of the minor child
who is in the care of | 11 | | petitioner.
| 12 | | (16) Order for payment of shelter services. Order | 13 | | respondent to
reimburse a shelter providing temporary | 14 | | housing and counseling services to
the petitioner for the | 15 | | cost of the services, as certified by the shelter
and | 16 | | deemed reasonable by the court.
| 17 | | (17) Order for injunctive relief. Enter injunctive | 18 | | relief necessary
or appropriate to prevent further abuse of | 19 | | a family or household member or
to effectuate one of the | 20 | | granted remedies, if supported by the balance of
hardships. | 21 | | If the harm to be prevented by the injunction is abuse or | 22 | | any
other harm that one of the remedies listed in | 23 | | paragraphs (1) through (16)
of this subsection is designed | 24 | | to prevent, no further evidence is necessary
to establish | 25 | | that the harm is an irreparable injury. | 26 | | (18) Telephone services. |

|
| 1 | | (A) Unless a condition described in subparagraph | 2 | | (B) of this paragraph exists, the court may, upon | 3 | | request by the petitioner, order a wireless telephone | 4 | | service provider to transfer to the petitioner the | 5 | | right to continue to use a telephone number or numbers | 6 | | indicated by the petitioner and the financial | 7 | | responsibility associated with the number or numbers, | 8 | | as set forth in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph. For | 9 | | purposes of this paragraph (18), the term "wireless | 10 | | telephone service provider" means a provider of | 11 | | commercial mobile service as defined in 47 U.S.C. 332. | 12 | | The petitioner may request the transfer of each | 13 | | telephone number that the petitioner, or a minor child | 14 | | in his or her custody, uses. The clerk of the court | 15 | | shall serve the order on the wireless telephone service | 16 | | provider's agent for service of process provided to the | 17 | | Illinois Commerce Commission. The order shall contain | 18 | | all of the following: | 19 | | (i) The name and billing telephone number of | 20 | | the account holder including the name of the | 21 | | wireless telephone service provider that serves | 22 | | the account. | 23 | | (ii) Each telephone number that will be | 24 | | transferred. | 25 | | (iii) A statement that the provider transfers | 26 | | to the petitioner all financial responsibility for |
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 15 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | and right to the use of any telephone number | 2 | | transferred under this paragraph. | 3 | | (B) A wireless telephone service provider shall | 4 | | terminate the respondent's use of, and shall transfer | 5 | | to the petitioner use of, the telephone number or | 6 | | numbers indicated in subparagraph (A) of this | 7 | | paragraph unless it notifies the petitioner, within 72 | 8 | | hours after it receives the order, that one of the | 9 | | following applies: | 10 | | (i) The account holder named in the order has | 11 | | terminated the account. | 12 | | (ii) A difference in network technology would | 13 | | prevent or impair the functionality of a device on | 14 | | a network if the transfer occurs. | 15 | | (iii) The transfer would cause a geographic or | 16 | | other limitation on network or service provision | 17 | | to the petitioner. | 18 | | (iv) Another technological or operational | 19 | | issue would prevent or impair the use of the | 20 | | telephone number if the transfer occurs. | 21 | | (C) The petitioner assumes all financial | 22 | | responsibility for and right to the use of any | 23 | | telephone number transferred under this paragraph. In | 24 | | this paragraph, "financial responsibility" includes | 25 | | monthly service costs and costs associated with any | 26 | | mobile device associated with the number. |
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 16 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | (D) A wireless telephone service provider may | 2 | | apply to the petitioner its routine and customary | 3 | | requirements for establishing an account or | 4 | | transferring a number, including requiring the | 5 | | petitioner to provide proof of identification, | 6 | | financial information, and customer preferences.
| 7 | | (E) Except for willful or wanton misconduct, a | 8 | | wireless telephone service provider is immune from | 9 | | civil liability for its actions taken in compliance | 10 | | with a court order issued under this paragraph. | 11 | | (F) All wireless service providers that provide | 12 | | services to residential customers shall provide to the | 13 | | Illinois Commerce Commission the name and address of an | 14 | | agent for service of orders entered under this | 15 | | paragraph (18). Any change in status of the registered | 16 | | agent must be reported to the Illinois Commerce | 17 | | Commission within 30 days of such change. | 18 | | (G) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall | 19 | | maintain the list of registered agents for service for | 20 | | each wireless telephone service provider on the | 21 | | Commission's website. The Commission may consult with | 22 | | wireless telephone service providers and the Circuit | 23 | | Court Clerks on the manner in which this information is | 24 | | provided and displayed. | 25 | | (c) Relevant factors; findings.
| 26 | | (1) In determining whether to grant a
specific remedy, |
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 17 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | other than payment of support, the
court shall consider | 2 | | relevant factors, including but not limited to the
| 3 | | following:
| 4 | | (i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern and | 5 | | consequences of the
respondent's past abuse of the | 6 | | petitioner or any family or household
member, | 7 | | including the concealment of his or her location in | 8 | | order to evade
service of process or notice, and the | 9 | | likelihood of danger of future abuse to
petitioner or
| 10 | | any member of petitioner's or respondent's family or | 11 | | household; and
| 12 | | (ii) the danger that any minor child will be abused | 13 | | or neglected or
improperly removed from the | 14 | | jurisdiction, improperly concealed within the
State or | 15 | | improperly separated from the child's primary | 16 | | caretaker.
| 17 | | (2) In comparing relative hardships resulting to the | 18 | | parties from loss
of possession of the family home, the | 19 | | court shall consider relevant
factors, including but not | 20 | | limited to the following:
| 21 | | (i) availability, accessibility, cost, safety, | 22 | | adequacy, location and other
characteristics of | 23 | | alternate housing for each party and any minor child or
| 24 | | dependent adult in the party's care;
| 25 | | (ii) the effect on the party's employment; and
| 26 | | (iii) the effect on the relationship of the party, |
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 18 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | and any minor
child or dependent adult in the party's | 2 | | care, to family, school, church
and community.
| 3 | | (3) Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph | 4 | | (4) of this
subsection, the court shall make its findings | 5 | | in an official record or in
writing, and shall at a minimum | 6 | | set forth the following:
| 7 | | (i) That the court has considered the applicable | 8 | | relevant factors
described in paragraphs (1) and (2) of | 9 | | this subsection.
| 10 | | (ii) Whether the conduct or actions of respondent, | 11 | | unless
prohibited, will likely cause irreparable harm | 12 | | or continued abuse.
| 13 | | (iii) Whether it is necessary to grant the | 14 | | requested relief in order
to protect petitioner or | 15 | | other alleged abused persons.
| 16 | | (4) For purposes of issuing an ex parte emergency order | 17 | | of protection,
the court, as an alternative to or as a | 18 | | supplement to making the findings
described in paragraphs | 19 | | (c)(3)(i) through (c)(3)(iii) of this subsection, may use
| 20 | | the following procedure:
| 21 | | When a verified petition for an emergency order of | 22 | | protection in
accordance with the requirements of Sections | 23 | | 112A-5 and 112A-17 is
presented to the court, the court | 24 | | shall examine petitioner on oath or
affirmation. An | 25 | | emergency order of protection shall be issued by the court
| 26 | | if it appears from the contents of the petition and the |
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 19 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | examination of
petitioner that the averments are | 2 | | sufficient to indicate abuse by
respondent and to support | 3 | | the granting of relief under the issuance of the
emergency | 4 | | order of protection.
| 5 | | (5) Never married parties. No rights or | 6 | | responsibilities for a minor
child born outside of marriage | 7 | | attach to a putative father until a father and
child | 8 | | relationship has been established under the Illinois | 9 | | Parentage Act of
1984 or under the Illinois Parentage Act | 10 | | of 2015 on and after the effective date of that Act. Absent | 11 | | such an adjudication, no putative father shall be granted
| 12 | | temporary custody of the minor child, visitation with the | 13 | | minor child, or
physical care
and possession of the minor | 14 | | child, nor shall
an order of payment for support of the | 15 | | minor child be entered.
| 16 | | (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds that | 17 | | the balance
of hardships does not support the granting of a | 18 | | remedy governed by
paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of
| 19 | | subsection (b) of this Section,
which may require such | 20 | | balancing, the court's findings shall so
indicate and shall | 21 | | include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will
result | 22 | | in hardship to respondent that would substantially outweigh the | 23 | | hardship
to petitioner
from denial of the remedy. The findings | 24 | | shall be an official record or in
writing.
| 25 | | (e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be | 26 | | based, in
whole or in part, on evidence that:
|
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 20 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | (1) Respondent has cause for any use of force, unless | 2 | | that cause
satisfies the standards for justifiable use of | 3 | | force provided by Article
7 of the Criminal Code of 2012;
| 4 | | (2) Respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;
| 5 | | (3) Petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of | 6 | | another, provided
that, if petitioner utilized force, such | 7 | | force was justifiable under
Article 7 of the Criminal Code | 8 | | of 2012;
| 9 | | (4) Petitioner did not act in self-defense or defense | 10 | | of another;
| 11 | | (5) Petitioner left the residence or household to avoid | 12 | | further abuse
by respondent;
| 13 | | (6) Petitioner did not leave the residence or household | 14 | | to avoid further
abuse by respondent;
| 15 | | (7) Conduct by any family or household member excused | 16 | | the abuse by
respondent, unless that same conduct would | 17 | | have excused such abuse if the
parties had not been family | 18 | | or household members.
| 19 | | (Source: P.A. 98-63, eff. 7-9-13; 99-85, eff. 1-1-16 .)
| 20 | | Section 10. The Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986 is | 21 | | amended by changing Section 214 as follows:
| 22 | | (750 ILCS 60/214) (from Ch. 40, par. 2312-14)
| 23 | | Sec. 214. Order of protection; remedies.
| 24 | | (a) Issuance of order. If the court finds that petitioner |
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 21 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | has been
abused by a family or household member or that | 2 | | petitioner is a high-risk
adult who has been abused, neglected, | 3 | | or exploited, as defined in this Act,
an order of protection | 4 | | prohibiting the abuse, neglect, or exploitation
shall issue; | 5 | | provided that petitioner must also satisfy the requirements of
| 6 | | one of the following Sections, as appropriate: Section 217 on | 7 | | emergency
orders, Section 218 on interim orders, or Section 219 | 8 | | on plenary orders.
Petitioner shall not be denied an order of | 9 | | protection because petitioner or
respondent is a minor. The | 10 | | court, when determining whether or not to issue
an order of | 11 | | protection, shall not require physical manifestations of abuse
| 12 | | on the person of the victim. Modification and extension of | 13 | | prior
orders of protection shall be in accordance with this | 14 | | Act.
| 15 | | (b) Remedies and standards. The remedies to be included in | 16 | | an order of
protection shall be determined in accordance with | 17 | | this Section and one of
the following Sections, as appropriate: | 18 | | Section 217 on emergency orders,
Section 218 on interim orders, | 19 | | and Section 219 on plenary orders. The
remedies listed in this | 20 | | subsection shall be in addition to other civil or
criminal | 21 | | remedies available to petitioner.
| 22 | | (1) Prohibition of abuse, neglect, or exploitation. | 23 | | Prohibit
respondent's harassment, interference with | 24 | | personal liberty, intimidation
of a dependent, physical | 25 | | abuse, or willful deprivation, neglect or
exploitation, as | 26 | | defined in this Act, or stalking of the petitioner, as |
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 22 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | defined
in Section 12-7.3 of the Criminal Code of 2012, if | 2 | | such abuse, neglect,
exploitation, or stalking has | 3 | | occurred or otherwise appears likely to occur if
not | 4 | | prohibited.
| 5 | | (2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence. | 6 | | Prohibit respondent from
entering or remaining in any | 7 | | residence, household, or premises of the petitioner,
| 8 | | including one owned or leased by respondent, if petitioner | 9 | | has a right to
occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive | 10 | | possession of the residence, household, or premises shall | 11 | | not
affect title to real property, nor shall the court be | 12 | | limited by the standard
set forth in Section 701 of the | 13 | | Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage
Act.
| 14 | | (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to | 15 | | occupancy of a
residence or household if it is solely | 16 | | or jointly owned or leased by that
party, that party's | 17 | | spouse, a person with a legal duty to support that | 18 | | party or
a minor child in that party's care, or by any | 19 | | person or entity other than the
opposing party that | 20 | | authorizes that party's occupancy (e.g., a domestic
| 21 | | violence shelter). Standards set forth in subparagraph | 22 | | (B) shall not preclude
equitable relief.
| 23 | | (B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and | 24 | | respondent
each has the right to occupancy of a | 25 | | residence or household, the court
shall balance (i) the | 26 | | hardships to respondent and any minor child or
|
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 23 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from | 2 | | entry of this remedy with
(ii) the hardships to | 3 | | petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in
| 4 | | petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to | 5 | | the risk of abuse
(should petitioner remain at the | 6 | | residence or household) or from loss of
possession of | 7 | | the residence or household (should petitioner leave to | 8 | | avoid the
risk of abuse). When determining the balance | 9 | | of hardships, the court shall
also take into account | 10 | | the accessibility of the residence or household.
| 11 | | Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not | 12 | | have a right to
occupancy.
| 13 | | The balance of hardships is presumed to favor | 14 | | possession by
petitioner unless the presumption is | 15 | | rebutted by a preponderance of the
evidence, showing | 16 | | that the hardships to respondent substantially | 17 | | outweigh
the hardships to petitioner and any minor | 18 | | child or dependent adult in
petitioner's care. The | 19 | | court, on the request of petitioner or on its own
| 20 | | motion, may order respondent to provide suitable, | 21 | | accessible, alternate housing
for petitioner instead | 22 | | of excluding respondent from a mutual residence or
| 23 | | household.
| 24 | | (3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions.
Order | 25 | | respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other person
| 26 | | protected by the order of protection, or prohibit |
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 24 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | respondent from entering
or remaining present at | 2 | | petitioner's school, place of employment, or other
| 3 | | specified places at times when petitioner is present, or | 4 | | both, if
reasonable, given the balance of hardships. | 5 | | Hardships need not be balanced for
the court to enter a | 6 | | stay away order or prohibit entry if respondent has no
| 7 | | right to enter the premises.
| 8 | | (A) If an order of protection grants petitioner | 9 | | exclusive possession
of the residence, or prohibits | 10 | | respondent from entering the residence,
or orders | 11 | | respondent to stay away from petitioner or other
| 12 | | protected persons, then the court may allow respondent | 13 | | access to the
residence to remove items of clothing and | 14 | | personal adornment
used exclusively by respondent, | 15 | | medications, and other items as the court
directs. The | 16 | | right to access shall be exercised on only one occasion | 17 | | as the
court directs and in the presence of an | 18 | | agreed-upon adult third party or law
enforcement | 19 | | officer.
| 20 | | (B) When the petitioner and the respondent attend | 21 | | the same public, private, or non-public elementary, | 22 | | middle, or high school, the court when issuing an order | 23 | | of protection and providing relief shall consider the | 24 | | severity of the act, any continuing physical danger or | 25 | | emotional distress to the petitioner, the educational | 26 | | rights guaranteed to the petitioner and respondent |
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 25 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | under federal and State law, the availability of a | 2 | | transfer of the respondent to another school, a change | 3 | | of placement or a change of program of the respondent, | 4 | | the expense, difficulty, and educational disruption | 5 | | that would be caused by a transfer of the respondent to | 6 | | another school, and any other relevant facts of the | 7 | | case. The court may order that the respondent not | 8 | | attend the public, private, or non-public elementary, | 9 | | middle, or high school attended by the petitioner, | 10 | | order that the respondent accept a change of placement | 11 | | or change of program, as determined by the school | 12 | | district or private or non-public school, or place | 13 | | restrictions on the respondent's movements within the | 14 | | school attended by the petitioner.
The respondent | 15 | | bears the burden of proving by a preponderance of the | 16 | | evidence that a transfer, change of placement, or | 17 | | change of program of the respondent is not available. | 18 | | The respondent also bears the burden of production with | 19 | | respect to the expense, difficulty, and educational | 20 | | disruption that would be caused by a transfer of the | 21 | | respondent to another school. A transfer, change of | 22 | | placement, or change of program is not unavailable to | 23 | | the respondent solely on the ground that the respondent | 24 | | does not agree with the school district's or private or | 25 | | non-public school's transfer, change of placement, or | 26 | | change of program or solely on the ground that the |
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 26 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | respondent fails or refuses to consent or otherwise | 2 | | does not take an action required to effectuate a | 3 | | transfer, change of placement, or change of program.
| 4 | | When a court orders a respondent to stay away from the | 5 | | public, private, or non-public school attended by the | 6 | | petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to | 7 | | another attendance center within the respondent's | 8 | | school district or private or non-public school, the | 9 | | school district or private or non-public school shall | 10 | | have sole discretion to determine the attendance | 11 | | center to which the respondent is transferred.
In the | 12 | | event the court order results in a transfer of the | 13 | | minor respondent to another attendance center, a | 14 | | change in the respondent's placement, or a change of | 15 | | the respondent's program, the parents, guardian, or | 16 | | legal custodian of the respondent is responsible for | 17 | | transportation and other costs associated with the | 18 | | transfer or change. | 19 | | (C) The court may order the parents, guardian, or | 20 | | legal custodian of a minor respondent to take certain | 21 | | actions or to refrain from taking certain actions to | 22 | | ensure that the respondent complies with the order. In | 23 | | the event the court orders a transfer of the respondent | 24 | | to another school, the parents, guardian, or legal | 25 | | custodian of the respondent is responsible for | 26 | | transportation and other costs associated with the |
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 27 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | change of school by the respondent. | 2 | | (4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to | 3 | | undergo
counseling for a specified duration with a social | 4 | | worker, psychologist,
clinical psychologist, psychiatrist, | 5 | | family service agency, alcohol or
substance abuse program, | 6 | | mental health center guidance counselor, agency
providing | 7 | | services to elders, program designed for domestic violence
| 8 | | abusers or any other guidance service the court deems | 9 | | appropriate. The Court may order the respondent in any | 10 | | intimate partner relationship to report to an Illinois | 11 | | Department of Human Services protocol approved partner | 12 | | abuse intervention program for an assessment and to follow | 13 | | all recommended treatment.
| 14 | | (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child. In | 15 | | order to protect
the minor child from abuse, neglect, or | 16 | | unwarranted separation from the person
who has been the | 17 | | minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect | 18 | | the
well-being of the minor child, the court may do either | 19 | | or both of the
following: (i) grant petitioner physical | 20 | | care or possession of the minor child,
or both, or (ii) | 21 | | order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove | 22 | | a
minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person | 23 | | in loco parentis.
| 24 | | If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has | 25 | | committed abuse
(as defined in Section 103) of a minor | 26 | | child, there shall be a
rebuttable presumption that |
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 28 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | awarding physical care to respondent would not
be in the | 2 | | minor child's best interest.
| 3 | | (6) Temporary allocation of parental responsibilities: | 4 | | significant decision-making. Award temporary | 5 | | decision-making responsibility to petitioner
in accordance | 6 | | with this Section, the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
| 7 | | Marriage Act, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015, and this | 8 | | State's Uniform
Child-Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement | 9 | | Act.
| 10 | | If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has | 11 | | committed abuse (as
defined in Section 103) of a minor | 12 | | child, there shall be a rebuttable
presumption that | 13 | | awarding temporary significant decision-making | 14 | | responsibility to respondent would not be in
the child's | 15 | | best interest.
| 16 | | (7) Parenting time. Determine the parenting time, if | 17 | | any, of respondent in
any case in which the court awards | 18 | | physical care or allocates temporary significant | 19 | | decision-making responsibility of
a minor child to | 20 | | petitioner. The court shall restrict or deny respondent's | 21 | | parenting time
with a minor child if the court finds that | 22 | | respondent has done or is
likely to do any of the | 23 | | following: (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during | 24 | | parenting time; (ii) use the parenting time as an | 25 | | opportunity to abuse or harass
petitioner or petitioner's | 26 | | family or household members; (iii) improperly
conceal or |
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 29 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | detain the minor child; or (iv) otherwise act in a manner | 2 | | that is
not in the best interests of the minor child. The | 3 | | court shall not be limited
by the standards set forth in | 4 | | Section 603.10 of the Illinois Marriage and
Dissolution of | 5 | | Marriage Act. If the court grants parenting time, the order | 6 | | shall
specify dates and times for the parenting time to | 7 | | take place or other specific
parameters or conditions that | 8 | | are appropriate. No order for parenting time shall
refer | 9 | | merely to the term "reasonable parenting time".
| 10 | | Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor | 11 | | child if, when
respondent arrives for parenting time, | 12 | | respondent is under the influence of drugs
or alcohol and | 13 | | constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of
| 14 | | petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving in | 15 | | a violent or
abusive manner.
| 16 | | If necessary to protect any member of petitioner's | 17 | | family or
household from future abuse, respondent shall be | 18 | | prohibited from coming to
petitioner's residence to meet | 19 | | the minor child for parenting time, and the
parties shall | 20 | | submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable
| 21 | | alternative arrangements for parenting time. A person may | 22 | | be approved to
supervise parenting time only after filing | 23 | | an affidavit accepting
that responsibility and | 24 | | acknowledging accountability to the court.
| 25 | | (8) Removal or concealment of minor child. Prohibit | 26 | | respondent from
removing a minor child from the State or |
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 30 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | concealing the child within the State.
| 2 | | (9) Order to appear. Order the respondent to appear in | 3 | | court, alone
or with a minor child, to prevent abuse, | 4 | | neglect, removal or concealment of
the child, to return the | 5 | | child to the custody or care of the petitioner or
to permit | 6 | | any court-ordered interview or examination of the child or | 7 | | the
respondent.
| 8 | | (10) Possession of personal property. Grant petitioner | 9 | | exclusive
possession of personal property and, if | 10 | | respondent has possession or
control, direct respondent to | 11 | | promptly make it available to petitioner, if:
| 12 | | (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the | 13 | | property; or
| 14 | | (ii) the parties own the property jointly; sharing | 15 | | it would risk
abuse of petitioner by respondent or is | 16 | | impracticable; and the balance of
hardships favors | 17 | | temporary possession by petitioner.
| 18 | | If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the property | 19 | | is that it is
marital property, the court may award | 20 | | petitioner temporary possession
thereof under the | 21 | | standards of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph only if
a | 22 | | proper proceeding has been filed under the Illinois | 23 | | Marriage and
Dissolution of Marriage Act, as now or | 24 | | hereafter amended.
| 25 | | No order under this provision shall affect title to | 26 | | property.
|
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 31 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | (11) Protection of property. Forbid the respondent | 2 | | from taking,
transferring, encumbering, concealing, | 3 | | damaging or otherwise disposing of
any real or personal | 4 | | property, except as explicitly authorized by the
court, if:
| 5 | | (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the | 6 | | property; or
| 7 | | (ii) the parties own the property jointly,
and the | 8 | | balance of hardships favors granting this remedy.
| 9 | | If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the property | 10 | | is that it is
marital property, the court may grant | 11 | | petitioner relief under subparagraph
(ii) of this | 12 | | paragraph only if a proper proceeding has been filed under | 13 | | the
Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as | 14 | | now or hereafter amended.
| 15 | | The court may further prohibit respondent from | 16 | | improperly using the
financial or other resources of an | 17 | | aged member of the family or household
for the profit or | 18 | | advantage of respondent or of any other person.
| 19 | | (11.5) Protection of animals. Grant the petitioner the | 20 | | exclusive care, custody, or control of any animal owned, | 21 | | possessed, leased, kept, or held by either the petitioner | 22 | | or the respondent or a minor child residing in the | 23 | | residence or household of either the petitioner or the | 24 | | respondent and order the respondent to stay away from the | 25 | | animal and forbid the respondent from taking, | 26 | | transferring, encumbering, concealing, harming, or |
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 32 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | otherwise disposing of the animal.
| 2 | | (12) Order for payment of support. Order respondent to | 3 | | pay temporary
support for the petitioner or any child in | 4 | | the petitioner's care or over whom the petitioner has been | 5 | | allocated parental responsibility, when the respondent has | 6 | | a legal obligation to support that person,
in accordance | 7 | | with the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution
of Marriage Act, | 8 | | which shall govern, among other matters, the amount of
| 9 | | support, payment through the clerk and withholding of | 10 | | income to secure
payment. An order for child support may be | 11 | | granted to a petitioner with
lawful physical care of a | 12 | | child, or an order or agreement for
physical care of a | 13 | | child, prior to entry of an order allocating significant | 14 | | decision-making responsibility.
Such a support order shall | 15 | | expire upon entry of a valid order allocating parental | 16 | | responsibility differently and vacating the petitioner's | 17 | | significant decision-making authority, unless otherwise | 18 | | provided in the order.
| 19 | | (13) Order for payment of losses. Order respondent to | 20 | | pay petitioner for
losses suffered as a direct result of | 21 | | the abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
Such losses shall | 22 | | include, but not be limited to, medical expenses, lost
| 23 | | earnings or other support, repair or replacement of | 24 | | property damaged or taken,
reasonable attorney's fees, | 25 | | court costs and moving or other travel expenses,
including | 26 | | additional reasonable expenses for temporary shelter and |
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 33 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | restaurant
meals.
| 2 | | (i) Losses affecting family needs. If a party is | 3 | | entitled to seek
maintenance, child support or | 4 | | property distribution from the other party
under the | 5 | | Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as | 6 | | now or
hereafter amended, the court may order | 7 | | respondent to reimburse petitioner's
actual losses, to | 8 | | the extent that such reimbursement would be | 9 | | "appropriate
temporary relief", as authorized by | 10 | | subsection (a)(3) of Section 501 of
that Act.
| 11 | | (ii) Recovery of expenses. In the case of an | 12 | | improper concealment
or removal of a minor child, the | 13 | | court may order respondent to pay the
reasonable | 14 | | expenses incurred or to be incurred in the search for | 15 | | and recovery
of the minor child, including but not | 16 | | limited to legal fees, court costs,
private | 17 | | investigator fees, and travel costs.
| 18 | | (14) Prohibition of entry. Prohibit the respondent | 19 | | from entering or
remaining in the residence or household | 20 | | while the respondent is under the
influence of alcohol or | 21 | | drugs and constitutes a threat to the safety and
well-being | 22 | | of the petitioner or the petitioner's children.
| 23 | | (14.5) Prohibition of firearm possession.
| 24 | | (a) Prohibit a respondent against whom an order of | 25 | | protection was issued from possessing any firearms | 26 | | during the duration of the order if the order: |
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 34 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | (1) was issued after a hearing of which such | 2 | | person received
actual notice, and at which such | 3 | | person had an opportunity to
participate; | 4 | | (2) restrains such person from harassing, | 5 | | stalking, or
threatening an intimate partner of | 6 | | such person or child of such
intimate partner or | 7 | | person, or engaging in other conduct that
would | 8 | | place an intimate partner in reasonable fear of | 9 | | bodily
injury to the partner or child; and | 10 | | (3)(i) includes a finding that such person | 11 | | represents a
credible threat to the physical | 12 | | safety of such intimate partner
or child; or
(ii) | 13 | | by its terms explicitly prohibits the use, | 14 | | attempted
use, or threatened use of physical force | 15 | | against such intimate
partner or child that would | 16 | | reasonably be expected to cause
bodily injury. | 17 | | Any Firearm Owner's Identification Card in the
| 18 | | possession of the respondent, except as provided in | 19 | | subsection (b), shall be ordered by the court to be | 20 | | turned
over to the local law enforcement agency. The | 21 | | local law enforcement agency shall immediately mail | 22 | | the card to the Department of State Police Firearm | 23 | | Owner's Identification Card Office

The period of | 2 | | safekeeping shall be for the duration of the order of | 3 | | protection. The firearm or firearms and Firearm | 4 | | Owner's Identification Card, if unexpired, shall at | 5 | | the respondent's request, be returned to the | 6 | | respondent at the end
of the order of protection. It is | 7 | | the respondent's responsibility to notify the | 8 | | Department of State Police Firearm Owner's | 9 | | Identification Card Office.
| 10 | | (b) If the respondent is a peace officer as defined | 11 | | in Section 2-13 of
the
Criminal Code of 2012, the court | 12 | | shall order that any firearms used by the
respondent in | 13 | | the performance of his or her duties as a
peace officer | 14 | | be surrendered to
the chief law enforcement executive | 15 | | of the agency in which the respondent is
employed, who | 16 | | shall retain the firearms for safekeeping for the | 17 | | duration of the order of protection.
| 18 | | (c) Upon expiration of the period of safekeeping, | 19 | | if the firearms or Firearm Owner's Identification Card | 20 | | cannot be returned to respondent because respondent | 21 | | cannot be located, fails to respond to requests to | 22 | | retrieve the firearms, or is not lawfully eligible to | 23 | | possess a firearm, upon petition from the local law | 24 | | enforcement agency, the court may order the local law | 25 | | enforcement agency to destroy the firearms, use the | 26 | | firearms for training purposes, or for any other |

If an order of | 6 | | protection
prohibits respondent from having contact with | 7 | | the minor child,
or if petitioner's address is omitted | 8 | | under subsection (b) of
Section 203, or if necessary to | 9 | | prevent abuse or wrongful removal or
concealment of a minor | 10 | | child, the order shall deny respondent access to, and
| 11 | | prohibit respondent from inspecting, obtaining, or | 12 | | attempting to
inspect or obtain, school or any other | 13 | | records of the minor child
who is in the care of | 14 | | petitioner.
| 15 | | (16) Order for payment of shelter services. Order | 16 | | respondent to

| 20 | | (17) Order for injunctive relief. Enter injunctive | 21 | | relief necessary
or appropriate to prevent further abuse of | 22 | | a family or household member
or further abuse, neglect, or | 23 | | exploitation of a high-risk adult with
disabilities or to | 24 | | effectuate one of the granted remedies, if supported by the
| 25 | | balance of hardships. If the harm to be prevented by the | 26 | | injunction is abuse
or any other harm that one of the |
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 37 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | remedies listed in paragraphs (1) through
(16) of this | 2 | | subsection is designed to prevent, no further evidence is
| 3 | | necessary that the harm is an irreparable injury.
| 4 | | (18) Telephone services. | 5 | | (A) Unless a condition described in subparagraph | 6 | | (B) of this paragraph exists, the court may, upon | 7 | | request by the petitioner, order a wireless telephone | 8 | | service provider to transfer to the petitioner the | 9 | | right to continue to use a telephone number or numbers | 10 | | indicated by the petitioner and the financial | 11 | | responsibility associated with the number or numbers, | 12 | | as set forth in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph. For | 13 | | purposes of this paragraph (18), the term "wireless | 14 | | telephone service provider" means a provider of | 15 | | commercial mobile service as defined in 47 U.S.C. 332. | 16 | | The petitioner may request the transfer of each | 17 | | telephone number that the petitioner, or a minor child | 18 | | in his or her custody, uses. The clerk of the court | 19 | | shall serve the order on the wireless telephone service | 20 | | provider's agent for service of process provided to the | 21 | | Illinois Commerce Commission. The order shall contain | 22 | | all of the following: | 23 | | (i) The name and billing telephone number of | 24 | | the account holder including the name of the | 25 | | wireless telephone service provider that serves | 26 | | the account. |

|
| 1 | | (ii) Each telephone number that will be | 2 | | transferred. | 3 | | (iii) A statement that the provider transfers | 4 | | to the petitioner all financial responsibility for | 5 | | and right to the use of any telephone number | 6 | | transferred under this paragraph. | 7 | | (B) A wireless telephone service provider shall | 8 | | terminate the respondent's use of, and shall transfer | 9 | | to the petitioner use of, the telephone number or | 10 | | numbers indicated in subparagraph (A) of this | 11 | | paragraph unless it notifies the petitioner, within 72 | 12 | | hours after it receives the order, that one of the | 13 | | following applies: | 14 | | (i) The account holder named in the order has | 15 | | terminated the account. | 16 | | (ii) A difference in network technology would | 17 | | prevent or impair the functionality of a device on | 18 | | a network if the transfer occurs. | 19 | | (iii) The transfer would cause a geographic or | 20 | | other limitation on network or service provision | 21 | | to the petitioner. | 22 | | (iv) Another technological or operational | 23 | | issue would prevent or impair the use of the | 24 | | telephone number if the transfer occurs. | 25 | | (C) The petitioner assumes all financial | 26 | | responsibility for and right to the use of any |
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 39 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | telephone number transferred under this paragraph. In | 2 | | this paragraph, "financial responsibility" includes | 3 | | monthly service costs and costs associated with any | 4 | | mobile device associated with the number. | 5 | | (D) A wireless telephone service provider may | 6 | | apply to the petitioner its routine and customary | 7 | | requirements for establishing an account or | 8 | | transferring a number, including requiring the | 9 | | petitioner to provide proof of identification, | 10 | | financial information, and customer preferences.
| 11 | | (E) Except for willful or wanton misconduct, a | 12 | | wireless telephone service provider is immune from | 13 | | civil liability for its actions taken in compliance | 14 | | with a court order issued under this paragraph. | 15 | | (F) All wireless service providers that provide | 16 | | services to residential customers shall provide to the | 17 | | Illinois Commerce Commission the name and address of an | 18 | | agent for service of orders entered under this | 19 | | paragraph (18).

| 1 | | Court Clerks on the manner in which this information is | 2 | | provided and displayed. | 3 | | (c) Relevant factors; findings.
| 4 | | (1) In determining whether to grant a specific remedy, | 5 | | other than
payment of support, the court shall consider
| 6 | | relevant factors, including but not limited to the | 7 | | following:
| 8 | | (i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern and | 9 | | consequences of the
respondent's past abuse, neglect | 10 | | or exploitation of the petitioner or
any family or | 11 | | household member, including the concealment of his or | 12 | | her
location in order to evade service of process or | 13 | | notice, and the likelihood of
danger of future abuse, | 14 | | neglect, or exploitation to petitioner or any member of
| 15 | | petitioner's or respondent's family or household; and
| 16 | | (ii) the danger that any minor child will be abused | 17 | | or neglected or
improperly relocated from the | 18 | | jurisdiction, improperly concealed within the
State or | 19 | | improperly separated from the child's primary | 20 | | caretaker.
| 21 | | (2) In comparing relative hardships resulting to the | 22 | | parties from loss
of possession of the family home, the | 23 | | court shall consider relevant
factors, including but not | 24 | | limited to the following:
| 25 | | (i) availability, accessibility, cost, safety, | 26 | | adequacy, location and
other characteristics of |
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 41 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | alternate housing for each party and any minor child
or | 2 | | dependent adult in the party's care;
| 3 | | (ii) the effect on the party's employment; and
| 4 | | (iii) the effect on the relationship of the party, | 5 | | and any minor
child or dependent adult in the party's | 6 | | care, to family, school, church
and community.
| 7 | | (3) Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph | 8 | | (4) of this
subsection, the court shall make its findings | 9 | | in an official record or in
writing, and shall at a minimum | 10 | | set forth the following:
| 11 | | (i) That the court has considered the applicable | 12 | | relevant factors
described in paragraphs (1) and (2) of | 13 | | this subsection.
| 14 | | (ii) Whether the conduct or actions of respondent, | 15 | | unless
prohibited, will likely cause irreparable harm | 16 | | or continued abuse.
| 17 | | (iii) Whether it is necessary to grant the | 18 | | requested relief in order
to protect petitioner or | 19 | | other alleged abused persons.
| 20 | | (4) For purposes of issuing an ex parte emergency order | 21 | | of protection,
the court, as an alternative to or as a | 22 | | supplement to making the findings
described in paragraphs | 23 | | (c)(3)(i) through (c)(3)(iii) of this subsection, may
use | 24 | | the following procedure:
| 25 | | When a verified petition for an emergency order of | 26 | | protection in
accordance with the requirements of Sections |
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 42 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | 203 and 217 is
presented to the court, the court shall | 2 | | examine petitioner on oath or
affirmation. An emergency | 3 | | order of protection shall be issued by the court
if it | 4 | | appears from the contents of the petition and the | 5 | | examination of
petitioner that the averments are | 6 | | sufficient to indicate abuse by
respondent and to support | 7 | | the granting of relief under the issuance of the
emergency | 8 | | order of protection.
| 9 | | (5) Never married parties. No rights or | 10 | | responsibilities for a minor
child born outside of marriage | 11 | | attach to a putative father until a father and
child | 12 | | relationship has been established under the Illinois | 13 | | Parentage Act of
1984, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015, | 14 | | the Illinois Public Aid Code, Section 12 of the Vital | 15 | | Records Act, the
Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the Probate | 16 | | Act of 1985, the Revised Uniform
Reciprocal Enforcement of | 17 | | Support Act, the Uniform Interstate Family Support
Act, the | 18 | | Expedited Child Support Act of 1990, any judicial, | 19 | | administrative, or
other act of another state or territory, | 20 | | any other Illinois statute, or by any
foreign nation | 21 | | establishing the father and child relationship, any other
| 22 | | proceeding substantially in conformity with the Personal | 23 | | Responsibility and
Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of | 24 | | 1996 (Pub. L. 104-193), or where both
parties appeared in | 25 | | open court or at an administrative hearing acknowledging
| 26 | | under
oath or admitting by affirmation the existence of a |
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 43 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | father and child
relationship.
Absent such an | 2 | | adjudication, finding, or acknowledgement, no putative
| 3 | | father shall be granted
temporary allocation of parental | 4 | | responsibilities, including parenting time with the minor | 5 | | child, or
physical care and possession of the minor child, | 6 | | nor shall an order of payment
for support of the minor | 7 | | child be entered.
| 8 | | (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds that | 9 | | the balance
of hardships does not support the granting of a | 10 | | remedy governed by
paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of | 11 | | subsection (b) of this Section,
which may require such | 12 | | balancing, the court's findings shall so
indicate and shall | 13 | | include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will
result | 14 | | in hardship to respondent that would substantially outweigh the | 15 | | hardship
to petitioner from denial of the remedy. The findings | 16 | | shall be an official
record or in writing.
| 17 | | (e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be | 18 | | based, in
whole or in part, on evidence that:
| 19 | | (1) Respondent has cause for any use of force, unless | 20 | | that cause
satisfies the standards for justifiable use of | 21 | | force provided by Article
7 of the Criminal Code of 2012;
| 22 | | (2) Respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;
| 23 | | (3) Petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of | 24 | | another, provided
that, if petitioner utilized force, such | 25 | | force was justifiable under
Article 7 of the Criminal Code | 26 | | of 2012;
|
| | | SB0057 Enrolled | - 44 - | LRB100 03951 HEP 13956 b |
|
| 1 | | (4) Petitioner did not act in self-defense or defense | 2 | | of another;
| 3 | | (5) Petitioner left the residence or household to avoid | 4 | | further abuse,
neglect, or exploitation by respondent;
| 5 | | (6) Petitioner did not leave the residence or household | 6 | | to avoid further
abuse, neglect, or exploitation by | 7 | | respondent;
| 8 | | (7) Conduct by any family or household member excused | 9 | | the abuse,
neglect, or exploitation by respondent, unless | 10 | | that same conduct would have
excused such abuse, neglect, | 11 | | or exploitation if the parties had not been
family or | 12 | | household members.
